As the deadline for real country teams sign up has ended it is time to give some wider info to community how the tournament will work.

Having in mind that many participants are not available in June, we decided to agree on 1 month period starting 15th of June and lasting till 15th of July during which teams have to play their group stage matches. It is up to teams whenever they want to schedule their matches. So even if u cannot play in June you are free to schedule both of them in July! Although if some of the matches won't be SCHEDULED during that period, NT crew will arrange it on 15th of July as we want to keep tournament smooth and enjoyable for everyone. This time we wont force you to play in predetermined maps in group stage so u are free to play ur matches in any order you want!

That is all for official info! Now lets announce Groups of the National Tournament 2018!!!
Thanks to CJ, record of drawing NT groups is available somewhere on CJ's Twitch channel!

Group 1:
A1 - Finland
A2 - Egypt
A3 - Serbia

Group 2:

We demand Captain of each team to join jj2 discord group where in special channels we will arrange NT matches and vote for maps.

We demand Captain of each team to join [url=https://discord.gg/2x2N6Za]jj2 discord group[/url] where in special channels we will arrange NT matches and vote for maps.

So for clarification: Captains should now let their team vote on the mappool and then come to us with their definite votes regarding the mappool. I hope we can do this all on the NT channels on the NT + captains discord for which captains have already been invited. The list of maps which can be voted on is this:

Each team can vote yes and no for each map and they can say yes and no as many times as they want, although only the 4 maps with the most votes will make it in the mappool. (They will join the 6 maps that are already in the mappool) Teams can submit their veto map only until their first match starts!

The 6 already confirmed mappool maps:

Daybreak
Ancient Museum
Eztrig
Cots
Starlit
Scrapyard

Also, team captains can now contact their teammates and the captains of their opponents to schedule matches. Matches can already be scheduled (between the 15th of June and the 15th of July) but not played before the 15th of June due to the mappool voting. Every match that is not yet scheduled on the 14th of July will be scheduled for the 15th of July by the tournament officials on a time that they deem most convienient. Expect the rules and the other NT 2018 pages to be up soon!
